Your car is what your title says it is.

Purists and car show judges won't appreciate it, but of course your Mustang will remain a '78, tecnically, at least. I once owned a '71 Camaro that I ended up replacing about 85% of the sheet metal and almost all the mechanical parts on it, but it still looked like a '71 Camaro and I sold it as a '71 Camaro.

Fortunately, I came to my senses and wisely used the money from that sale as a down payment on a 1990 Mustang, which I still own, so the story had a happy ending. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

I had a 78 mustang, they are good for restomods because they have not developed a high resale value. I had fun with mine( put a 69 302 and cobraII drive train, 3000stall.)
but always knew I would take a loss!
My old car is a 66 convertible made into aGT350 replica, I call it a replica, maybe you should call yours a modified cobraII>

P.S. the other day I had a guy tell me I ruined my 66 putting a roll bar in it, He is rather unknowledgeable. so I told him It was all factory. He then went on to say they only made convertibles for two years, Bla Bla! So I told him that my car was one of six made, He He!!
And that is why he has never seen one like it before, or would again! I'm a real shit head, Ha Ha!!
